[析] the rest of 的用法與2/3，一半，80%+ of 的結(jié)構(gòu)一致， of 后面為可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)時用復(fù)數(shù)謂語動詞，為不可數(shù)名詞或可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時用單數(shù)謂語動詞。這樣用法還有 lots of， a lot of， plenty of。

　　[誤] The news in today's newspaper are not bad?

　　[正] The news in today's newspaper is not bad?

　　[析] 有些以 s 結(jié)尾的名詞要用作不可數(shù)名詞，它們是：news， physics， mathematics， thanks， …

　　[誤] The Chinese is kind and friendly?

　　[正] The Chinese are kind and friendly?

　　[析] Chinese 作為中文來講是單數(shù)名詞，但作為中國人講是單復(fù)同形的名詞。如： one Chinese， two Chinese … 而 The Chinese = The people of China 要用復(fù)數(shù)謂語動詞。

　　[誤] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars are a big sum for me

　　[正] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars is a big sum for me

　　[析] 表示一段時間，一筆金錢，一段距離，都應(yīng)看作單數(shù)名詞。

　　[誤] Who are going to take part in our football match?

　　[正] Who is going to take part in our football match?

　　[析] 用 who 提問時，習(xí)慣上用單數(shù)謂語動詞，但 which 則要視其情況而定，如： which are better these shoeses or those shoes? 又如： which is better this one or that one?

　　[誤] What a hot weather it is!

　　[誤] How hot the weather it is!

　　[正] What hot weather it is!

　　[正] How hot the weather is!

　　[析] 感嘆句是用來表達說話人的喜怒哀樂的感情。它由 what 與 how 作句子的開始，判定是用 what 還是用 how 的最好辦法是將它們換為陳述句，比如： What the hot weather it is! 應(yīng)轉(zhuǎn)換為： It is the hot weather? 那么句子的起點是單詞 it。 再來看感嘆句中 it 前有不可數(shù)名詞 weather， 則只能用 what。 再看第二句 How hot the weather is! 轉(zhuǎn)為陳述句時為： The weather is hot?這時句子的開始單詞為 the weather， 再來看感嘆句在 the weather 前只有形容詞，所以應(yīng)用 how。 至于是用 what a 還是 what 要看名詞的具體情況而定，單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞加 what a 其余的加用 what。

　　[誤] We have to sing this， have we?

　　[誤] We have to sing this， haven't we?

　　[正] We have to sing this, don't we?

　　[析] 在反意疑問句中除了標準的一些常規(guī)外，有一些例外：

　　Let's go home， shall we?

　　Let us go home， will you?

　　She had to leave， didn't she?

　　Do your homework at once， will you?

　　There is not much good news in today's newspaper， is there?

　　Neither of them are right， are they?

　　I think he will come to the party won't he?

　　think 后的賓語從句，與其他賓語從句不一樣，在初中只有這樣一個較特殊的詞。這樣的句子的反意疑問句的主語要用賓語從句中的主語，其助動詞要用賓語從句的助動 詞，而肯定還是否定要看主句謂語動詞而定，如： I don't think he is coming to our party， is he?

　　[誤] I want to know where does he live?

　　[正] I want to know where he lives?

　　[析] 賓語從句中一律要用陳述語序，而不用疑問語序。

　　[誤] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match??

　　- Nor I have?

　　[正] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match??

　　- Nor (Neither) have I?

　　[析] nor， neither 用在簡答否定句中時要采用倒裝語序。在肯定句的簡答句中則要用so， 如： I do my homework very quickly， So does Mary?

　　[誤] Look! Here the bus comes!

　　[正] Look! Here comes the bus!

　　[誤] Look! Here comes he!

　　[正] Look! Here he comes?

　　[析] 在 there， here 打頭的句子中，如果主語是名詞，則要采用倒裝語序;如果是人稱代詞則用一般語序。

　　[誤] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us??

　　No， I don't hope so?

　　[正] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us??

　　No， I hope not?

　　[析] 我不這樣想，可用 I don't think so? 但 hope 的否定簡答句只能用 I hope not? 這是習(xí)慣用法。但這兩個詞的肯定簡答句形是一樣的，如： I think so. I hope so?

　　[誤] That is difficult for us to learn English well?

　　[正] It is difficult for us to learn English well?

　　[析] It 這里的語法作用是形式主語，而真正的主語是后面的不定式。形式主語和形式賓語都要用 it 而不能用 that， 如： I think it difficult to learn English well? it 在這句中是 think 的形式賓語。
